The MAG 3S and 6S are locating systems designed to
assist horizontal directional drill machine operators in
locating and tracking underground drill head locations and
orientations. The systems consist of a transmitter, a
receiver, and a remote display.
These locating systems also offer four channel license
free radio telemetries between the receiver and remote
display. The user can easily “pair” any two receivers and
displays so that communications between the “pair” will
not be interfered by other “pairs”.
This manual is intended to provide information and
instructions on how to use these locating systems
properly. Underground Magnetics Inc. (UM) reserves the
right to improve the locating systems and the Operator’s
Manual at any time without notice.
Page 1
The transmitter sends digital information of the
transmitter’s pitch, roll, temperature, and battery status
through an FM modulated RF signal.
The receiver receives this information and uses RF
signal to identify the transmitter’s status and location.
The receiver transmits the locating information to a
remote display through a radio telemetry system. A
horizontal directional drill machine operator can use
the information from the display to guide the drill head
to the desired path.

The operator must understand safety procedures
and correct operation methods before operating the
HDD and the locating system.
HDD machines can cause property damage and
personal injury upon striking underground power
lines, gas lines, phone lines, television cables, fiber
optic cables, or sewage lines. Make sure to confirm
and mark all underground utilities before beginning
operations.
Do not use the locating system near flammable or
explosive substances.
Wear proper personal protective equipment
including steel-toed boots, safety gloves, helmets,
reflective vests, and safety goggles.
Obey all local safety regulations.
This locating system is only a tool to assist the
operator to locate the drill head. It is the operator,
not the Mag 6S locating system that is responsible
for identifying the drill head location. UM is not
responsible for any damage or loss caused by using
the Mag 6S system. Operators should operate the
Mag 6S system according to the manual.
If there are any questions, please contact UM at
support@undergroundmagnetics.com or call
customer service at 515-505-0960.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
▪This device may not cause harmful interference, and
▪This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by
Underground Magnetics Inc. will void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
Note: This product has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This product generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this product does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
▪Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
▪Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
▪Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
▪Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

Here are some points to keep in mind as you read
through the Mag 3S & 6S Operator’s Manual.
The following two pages contain a short preface.
This will be a quick introduction to the steps in
which you will most likely use your Mag 3S or 6S
System. It will also contain page references for the
later sections of the manual that contain more
detailed information for the corresponding steps.
The rest of the manual will contain detailed sections
that follow the order of the Mag 3S or 6S Receiver
and the Mag D3 or D6 menu screens.
It is recommended to read the whole Operator’s
Manual first. Then use the separate Quick Start
Guide, which is included with your system, as
reference when needed.

This question mark and
textbox will tell you the page in
the Operator’s Manual where

information on the
corresponding topic.

When you receive your Mag 3S or 6S System the transmitter
will have already been activated, preprogrammed at 19 kHz,
and paired and calibrated with the receiver. The receiver and
display will have been paired and set to channel 1.

Check calibration by placing
receiver 10ft away from housing,
measured from inside edge of
receiver to center of housing.
If distance on receiver’s screen
reads anything other than 10ft,
perform calibration.
